As featured on Comedy Centrals popular television show The Stephen Colbert Report! (http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/262597/january-26-2010/tip-wag---creigh-deeds---scarebear-trail-companion)

This application is perfect for hikers, bikers, walkers, birdwatchers, and anyone whos trekking outdoors. Also perfect for spectators to use as a noisemaker at this years winter olympics! Its the only application that replicates bear bells, which for years have been recommended by safety experts and widely used by experienced outdoorspeople. Once activated on your iPhone, ScareBear Trail Companion emits a steady audible warning to alert any creature (animal or human) in your immediate area or up the trail of your presence and to prevent them from being unnecessarily startled and angered. Choose from 3 sounds - bells, clapping, or rock-filled can.

Additionally, this application provides you with an air horn, recommended by safety experts as an effective means of scaring away any animal (for example, a bear, mountain lion, or coyote) in your path. This application (just like any real air horn, bear bells or any other preventative measure) is not a guaranteed means of scaring away animals, is to be used at your own risk and is no substitute for using your common sense in the outdoors, so be smart and safe!
